This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to disable or enable ad blocking in the Google Chrome browser using the built-in ad blocker.
By default, Google Chrome blocks ads on websites that display intrusive or misleading advertising, have too many ad elements, feature flashing graphics or auto-playing sound, or restrict content access until ads are viewed.
If necessary, you can disable or enable ad blocking across all websites or for specific sites.
It is important to note that Google AdSense and Yandex Advertising Network ads are not blocked regardless of the settings. Chrome only removes ads that violate the Better Ads Standards, which define the types of advertising that users find most annoying.
